This is the second brake job (new rotors) after 84000 miles. My 05 Dodge 3500 diesel has 107000 without any brake problems.

Tacoma Prerunner 3.4lt V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 233,000 miles

I have replaced the Brakes 3 times. O'rielly's auto parts will not warranty their brake parts for me anymore. The brakes shake, vibrate very bad. Does not matter what speed. After replacement they work great for the first 50 or so miles them back to the bad shake and vibrations. Been to Toyota in Dothan, AL. and in Columbus, Ga. They say no recalls and not their problem. Always though Toyotas were quality vehicles. Boy was I wrong. Will sell this one as soon as I pay it off and will buy a FORD!

problem #1

Jun 082002

Tacoma 6 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 15,000 miles

My trucks brakes began to vibrate heavily going into the Tahoe basin after only 15000 miles. I have learned to change the fwd disc brakes myself because they fail so often. I was told by the dealership to shop for a brake shop with a good warranty on brakes because they did not have a fix.
